AI for Security & Security for AI - F5 x KI Park

Where AI strategy meets corporate security A half-day summit at the intersection of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and enterprise architecture. For the second time in a row, F5 and KI Park bring together decision-makers and experts from business, technology, and research to exchange perspectives on opportunities, challenges, and developments shaping the future of AI and corporate security. Agenda Technical depth meets strategic perspective! The talks address how companies can scale AI through real implementations, how the threat landscape is evolving as AI becomes both a tool and a target, and what a modern security architecture must look like to keep pace — from infrastructure and agent-based systems to application security and enterprise architecture. The program combines practical insights, peer-level exchange, interdisciplinary perspectives, and networking during the afternoon and evening. Speakers and their topics: Insights into the sessions Scaling AI safely: Full control can lead to less control; Markus Berger, Coca-Cola Europacific Partners AI must be employed securely. However, disproportionate controls can hinder acceptance and adoption, increase costs, and lead to process circumvention. The talk questions what new controls AI agents actually need, where established security fundamentals suffice, and how risk-based governance can connect security and practical usability. AI vs. AI – Surviving in the Zero-Patch Era and Protecting the Enterprise AI Landscape (ENG); Bart Salaets, F5 As offensive AI reduces the time windows for patches to nearly zero, companies face a dual security challenge: they must protect their existing infrastructure while simultaneously managing internal use of AI. This session discusses using AI to defend against AI-driven attacks and implementing an AI Security Platform that can monitor, control, and protect both approved and unapproved AI applications – for comprehensive security from all angles. Beyond the Prompt: Securing Multi-Agent Decisions at Inference (ENG), Allan Healy, F5 When autonomous AI agents collaborate, a new attack surface emerges. This session shows how an agent's decision logic can be manipulated to execute non-compliant actions. It also discusses how such vulnerabilities can be uncovered through dynamic, agent-based red teaming and how to secure systems with real-time security mechanisms. Security in the AI Age: From Frontier AI to Holistic AI Security; Ellen Schäfer & Stefan Laube, Deloitte AI is transforming security from two directions: companies must ensure the secure use of AI while also understanding how AI can itself be used as an accelerator for security. The session explores why AI security differs from previous security approaches, what new questions Frontier AI models introduce compared to “classical” AI, and how the field is evolving. Additionally, it addresses the role of the CISO and how companies can holistically address AI security to develop a strategic advantage. Developing Secure AI under Security Threats: AI-Security-by-Design in Critical Applications; Prof. Dr. Michael Felderer & Dr. Elena Hoemann, DLR In security-critical application areas, cyber threats can directly become security risks if AI inputs are manipulated. Based on a black-box attack on a computer vision model, the session shows how AI-Security-by-Design integrates security into safety engineering and assurance, helping to operate AI systems safely even under targeted attacks.
